Wheel Weights

Does anyone know the weights for the C7 and AMG style III wheels? I'd like to know which is lighter.

AMG Style III in a 17 x 7.5 is around 29 lbs!!!!

C7 is probably not light. Light wheels are not MB's style, except for the 13 lb. forged wheels on the 98 & 99 CLK's (ugly, yes, light, yes). 16 x 7.0 35et.

tommy weighed one of his C7s (including tire) at 44 lbs. Sounds comparable to the AMG.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like if I want light weight wheels, I need to look at BBS RK's (16 lbs) or something similar

One never understands why can't AMG order some forged alloys to sale to us! Even the E36 M3 had forged alloys as options!
